Up and at 'em!

Olivia got to get out of bed today and hang out in a highchair for a while. She seemed to enjoy it. She played with her toys, stacked her blocks, and watched her room get cleaned while she was in there. There are big plans for tomorrow! Hopefully she tolerates getting off of her milrinone and angiomax drips by morning and then she can get rid of that silly arterial line. Now that she is feeling better, they started her up with physical therapy and speech therapy. PT seemed to go well - she liked all her exercises. Speech came in and actually fed her with a bottle to see how she would do. She completely went nuts over the bottle and snarfed down 2 ounces before they stopped her. Then it proceeded to come back up. So, just to rule out any problems, she is going to have a swallow study done tomorrow afternoon. I'm actually surprised she's never had one before, but she's not necessarily had any eating problems. Just the gagging and vomiting when she feels like it. Anyway, all in all she's still doing great!
